System and method for installing filtering membrane module to frame structure

1. An apparatus for installing a filtering membrane module to a frame structure comprising:

a horizontal rod parallel to an inserting direction of the filtering membrane module into the frame structure;

a moving unit movable toward the frame structure along the horizontal rod while supporting the filtering membrane module; and

a guide unit for providing a path for insertion of the filtering membrane module inside the frame structure,

wherein the guide unit comprises:

a guide plate having a through-hole penetrated by the horizontal rod, the guide plate being movable along the horizontal rod independently from the moving unit; and

a guide bar having a longitudinal direction parallel to the horizontal rod, the guide bar being directly connected with the guide plate so that the guide bar and the guide plate move together along the horizontal rod independently from the moving unit.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising wheels provided at a lower side of the apparatus to help a transport of the apparatus.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the guide unit is movable toward and into the frame structure along the horizontal rod.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the moving unit comprises:

a fixing plate configured to be detachably combined with a header of the filtering membrane module; and

a supporting unit having one side fixed to the fixing plate, and the other side movably connected to the horizontal rod.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the supporting unit comprises a pivot member such that pivotal movement of the pivot member in a first direction makes a closed through-hole penetrated by the horizontal rod and pivotal movement of the pivot member in a second direction opposite to the first direction makes the closed through-hole open.
